Excitement bubbles beneath the surface of an unsettled calm. I can tell that something is about to happen. No it's not gas. It is the anticipation that comes when you can feel the stirring of God. I have seen Him move many, many times. In church services where people are changed or healed or times when they are charged to do something and accept the challenge. I have been witness to the move of the Spirit and I have had times when God's Spirit filled and used me to accomplish His task. There is no greater feeling then when you feel like you are a tool that fits perfectly in the hand of God. The hand that created everything.
Sometimes it just happens, out of calm comes an explosion. Like a flash flood that no one sees coming. God really truly moves on His own time. In the most magnificent way possible God will show up when people are open to Him. It's not always an explosion, sometimes it like an alarm clock or even a gentle breeze that cools a sun blistering day.
Last night in our teen youth group God showed up like someone just poured syrup over a bunch of pancakes. One of our teens asked for prayer about something very serious going on in their family. The mood of the whole group turned to stone serious. The Spirit of love and care came down on our group as we prayed together about this issue. I could see God working through the other youth as they did their best to try and comfort and show concern. God worked through those kids as they showed support.
Thank You God for showing up last night. Thank You for Your perfect timing and Your love. I know You have so much more to do and that is where the excitement comes from.
Again, it's not gas!
